🔥Everesting attempt Announcement🔥
- elite athlete and all round great guy - from Cape Town has just started with his Everesting attempt on the this morning💪🏻
👉🏻His aim is to set the fastest ever Everesting attempt in South Africa, and in doing so will also be the first SA athlete to complete both a Run and Ride Everesting in less that 6 months🚲🏃🏻‍♂️🏔️
George locals are welcome to support him on his attempt today by running a section with him or support him along the route.
It looks like perfect running conditions out here today.
The current FKT stands at 20 hours 52 minutes and 7 seconds jointly held by Gabriel Kriel and Grobler Basson. They also set this time on the George Vertical route, which is arguably the best route in South Africa for a fast Everesting time.

Roelof will be running in his Altra Timp 3 shoes over a slightly revised route, worked out and locked in by from George FKTs and .co.za

We will be doing a few updates on this platform during his attempt today. His plan is to run a Sub 18 hour, which will be a phenomenal effort!

Give it horns Roeli, we are rooting for you!
